Fuel filter?
Your fuel filter is under the car. I'm assuming your talking about the top of the fuel pump bracket, underneath the back seat.
One plug is for the fuel pump, and the other is for the fuel gauge, I believe... Actually the fuel gauge is the plug under the other cover under the back seat.
Either way I couldn't get the plug you are referring to off so I just pushed the fuel pump cover aside to do the pump swap.

Just a suggestion:

The o-ring for the output nipple on the Walboro is kind of flimsy and fits loosely, not to mention it's a single o-ring for quite a lengthy extended tip. I would suggest using a stack of o-rings (3-4) that are a bit tighter fit and same outer diameter to aquire a much better seal. You could also use a lenth of rubber hose to accomplish the same thing.
